Changes to the H-1B Registration Fee and Payment Processes for
Fiscal Year 2026 (FY 2026)
The H-1B registration fee for the upcoming FY 2026 registration period is $215 per
beneficiary. You may include up to 250 beneficiaries per H-1B registration
submission.

To accommodate filers submitting multiple registrations during the FY2026 H-1B cap
season, the U.S. Department of Treasury has temporarily increased the credit card
transaction limit from $24,999.99 to $99,999.99 per day. Filers whose total H-1B
registration costs exceed the daily limit may elect to pay their fees by using multiple
credit cards, each of which is subjected to the $99,999.99 daily limit, or an Automated
Clearing House (ACH) bank transfer which is not subject to the daily limit.

For specific information about the new fees, visit the FY 2026 H-1B Cap Initial
Registration Period page.

H-1B Registration
A U.S. employer or agent (prospective petitioner) who seeks to obtain H-1B nonimmigrant
classification on behalf of an individual subject to the H-1B numerical allocations will need to submit
a registration during a designated registration period, unless the registration requirement is
suspended by USCIS. A petitioner may only submit one registration per beneficiary in any fiscal year.
Each registration must identify, among other things, the beneficiary's name and valid passport or
travel document information (including passport or travel document number, country of issuance,
and expiration date). Each beneficiary may be registered under only one passport or travel document. 


On the registration, the registrant must select the highest Occupational Employment and Wage
Statistics (OEWS) wage level that the beneficiary’s proffered wage equals or exceeds for the relevant
Standard Occupational Classification (SOC) code in the area(s) of intended employment. If the
beneficiary’s proffered wage is lower than OEWS wage level I, because it is based on a prevailing wage
from another legitimate source (other than OEWS) or an independent authoritative source, the
registrant must select “wage level I.” If the beneficiary will work in multiple locations, or in multiple
positions if the registrant is an agent, the registrant must select the lowest corresponding OEWS wage
level that the beneficiary’s proffered wage will equal or exceed. If the beneficiary’s proffered wage is
expressed as a range, you must select the OEWS wage level that the lowest wage in the range will
equal or exceed. Where there is no current OEWS prevailing wage information for the beneficiary’s
proffered position the registrant must select the OEWS wage level that corresponds to the
requirements of the beneficiary’s proffered position using the Department of Labor’s prevailing wage
guidance. The registrant must also provide the SOC code of the proffered position, the area of
intended employment that served as the basis of the wage level selected on the registration, and all
other information as instructed on this form.

Prospective petitioners, or their attorneys or accredited representatives, may submit up to 250
registrations per submission.

The annual initial registration period will last a minimum of 14 calendar days and will start at least 14
calendar days before the earliest date on which H-1B cap-subject petitions may be filed for a
particular fiscal year.

If a sufficient number of registrations for unique beneficiaries projected as needed to reach the H-1B
regular cap have not been received within the initial registration period, USCIS will notify all
registrants who have properly registered that their registrations for unique beneficiaries have been
selected. USCIS will keep registration open past the initial registration period until USCIS has
determined that it has received enough registrations for unique beneficiaries projected as needed to
meet the H-1B regular cap. 

After the end of the initial registration period, if USCIS has received more registrations for unique
beneficiaries than needed to meet the projected number of registrations to reach the regular cap, we

will assign each unique beneficiary to the lowest OEWS wage level among all registrations submitted
on the beneficiary’s behalf and will enter each unique beneficiary into the selection pool in a
weighted manner as follows: a beneficiary assigned wage level IV will be entered into the selection
pool four times, a beneficiary assigned wage level III will be entered into the selection pool three
times, a beneficiary assigned wage level II will be entered into the selection pool two times, and a
beneficiary assigned wage level I will be entered into the selection pool one time. A similar process
will apply for those who may be eligible for the advanced degree exemption. Once USCIS selects a
registration for a unique beneficiary, all registrations for that beneficiary will be selected and eligible
to file a Form I-129, Petition for a Nonimmigrant Worker, to request classification of the beneficiary as
an H-1B worker.

USCIS may deny or revoke the approval of an H-1B petition if it determines that the fee associated

with the registration is declined, not reconciled, disputed, or otherwise invalid after submission. The
registration fee is non-refundable and due at the time the registration is submitted.

Before you start your registration
Eligibility
A U.S. employer or agent may file H-1B cap petitions, and as such, will be required to
submit an H-1B registration to be eligible to file the H-1B cap petition.


U.S. Employers: Person or entity in the United States that:

Has a bona fide job offer for the beneficiary to work within the United States;

Has a legal presence in the United States and is amenable to service of process in the
United States; and

Has an Internal Revenue Service (IRS) tax identification number.


Agents: A U.S. individual or company in business as an agent may file an H-1B registration
for workers who are traditionally self-employed or workers who use agents to arrange
short-term employment on their behalf with numerous employers, and in cases where a
foreign employer authorizes the agent to act on its behalf.
Duplicates
A registrant (prospective petitioner) may only submit one registration per beneficiary in
any fiscal year. If a registrant, or their authorized attorney or representative, submits more
than one registration per beneficiary in the same fiscal year, all registrations filed by that
registrant, or on their behalf by their authorized attorney or representative, related to the
beneficiary for the fiscal year will be considered invalid, and USCIS may deny or revoke the
approval of any petition filed for the beneficiary based on those registrations.

Fee
We will automatically calculate the cost for you before you submit your registration. For

specific information about fees applicable to this form, see Form G-1055.

We will send you to Pay.gov, our safe, secure payment website, to make your payment and
submit your registration(s) online.


Important Payment Requirements

When paying with check please be sure to enter the bank routing number and bank
account number accurately. While the status of the registration(s) in the system will
indicate “submitted’ following completion of the Pay.gov payment process, your H-1B
registration(s) will be invalidated if the payment does not clear.

If payment is completed with a credit card or debit card the status of the registration(s) in
the system will indicate “submitted’ following completion of the Pay.gov payment process.
However, your H-1B registration(s) will be invalidated if the payment does not clear or the
payment is later declined or disputed.

Money orders, certified bank checks, and non-reloadable debit cards cannot be used as a
form of payment in the Pay.gov system.

If you use a business checking account to make your payment please ensure that your
institution does not restrict or block ACH Payments for this service. If your business
checking account is restricted your payment will declined and your registration(s) will be
invalidated.


USCIS Refund Policy

USCIS does not refund fees, regardless of any action we take on your submission,
application, petition, or request, or how long USCIS takes to reach a decision.

By continuing this transaction, you acknowledge that you must submit fees in the exact
amount and that you are paying the fees for a government service.

Please refer to the instructions for the form(s) you are filing for additional information or
you may call the USCIS Contact Center at 800-375-5283. For TTY (deaf or hard of hearing)

800-767-1833.

Check your registration(s) for duplicates. This process is optional.


Check for duplicates

A registrant (prospective petitioner), or their authorized attorney or
representative, may only submit one registration per beneficiary in any
fiscal year. If a registrant, or their authorized attorney or representative,
submits more than one registration per beneficiary in the same fiscal year,
all registrations submitted by that registrant, or on their behalf by their
authorized attorney or representative, related to the beneficiary for the
fiscal year will be considered invalid, and USCIS may deny or revoke the
approval of any petition filed for the beneficiary based on those
registrations. Before you submit your registration(s), you can check if the
registrant named in this submission previously submitted a registration for
any of the beneficiaries included in this submission for the same fiscal
year.


Review and Submit

To check your registration(s) for duplicates, you must:

Provide your Employer Identification Number (EIN) on the "About
Registrant" page and add at least one beneficiary on the "About
Beneficiary" page.

Select the “Check for duplicates” button to perform the check. A
duplicate will be found if you or another person already submitted a
registration for the beneficiary on behalf of your organization for the
same fiscal year.

Once the check is complete, review the list of beneficiaries who have
duplicates on the previous page. We recommend staying on this page
until the check is complete.

If you add beneficiaries after performing this check, you can perform
the check again.  

Note: Using this check does not guarantee that duplicates will not be
identified by USCIS at a later date. This check will compare the
beneficiaries listed in this draft with any registrations previously submitted
during this registration period. It will not check for duplicates within this
draft or between drafts. You can review the list of beneficiaries you
included on the previous page (or on the spreadsheet on your account
homepage) to make sure you have not entered a beneficiary more than
once. Even if utilizing this check, the burden is still on the registrant to
ensure that no duplicate registrations are submitted.
